Doug Williams on the significance of 2 Black quarterbacks in the Super Bowl

Doug Williams:

It's not only significant, it's historical, because this is the first time we've had two black coaches. We had one black quarterback to be the first. We've had other guys like Russell Wilson who's won, but it took him 25 years after I had won mine for us to get another black quarterback to win one.

You talk about black quarterback, historically, you know, the myth has always been you can't lead a team to the championship, you can't think you're not good leaders and things like that. But I think these two guys have proven not only to themselves, but to the fans that they play for, but to the America who watched football. If you're an NFL fan, you got to look at this as a historical moment and you got to take it as that and say that, what? We don't have to talk about this no more. We got two black quarterbacks who play the Super Bowl now.

Let's just let everybody get a chance to play. If you black, white, green or whoever, if they're good enough at that position, let them play. I hope we reached that plateau, which I know we probably hadn't. And you got some people out there would never accept this, but it is what it is, and you just got to go forward and not worry about the ones who want you.
